THE REASON I JUMP - FILM NOW AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA! (Details below)

Based on the best-selling book by Naoki Higashida that he wrote at age 13, The Reason I Jump is an immersive film that explores the experiences of nonspeaking Autistic young people around the world.

'It opens a window into an intense and overwhelming, but often joyful, sensory universe, a rich tapestry that leads us to Naoki’s core message: not being able to speak does not mean there is nothing to say.'

Being autistic is part of a person’s identity, not an addition to it. Most autistic people and advocates generally prefer identity-first language, however it is always important to consider an individual’s personal preference. ❤️
